Trying to make use of the Laravel installer

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make use of the Laravel installer. But when i type 'Larvel new' the command not found error is shown. In the documentation this is written: > Make sure to place the~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the laravel.

Hope some one can help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Maarten.

If on mac (and think *nix) just run this in your terminal.

export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Hi, Just my two cents on this question. to make this "path" permanently added to your environment, if your use bash you can edit ~/.profile or even base file for all users /etc/profile and add it there.

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

Put an alias to the freshly installed Laravel installer in your user configuration .bashrc:

nano ~/.bashrc

And place this inside the file:

alias laravel='~/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel'

And run the following to make sure your bashrc profile is reloaded:

source ~/.bashrc
laravel new project

@lifesound Open a new thread next time.

You'll need to add it to your .zshrc file to persist it
